Myles Paige Enters Primary For State Assembly Nomination 'Horror Isle,' Near Memphis, Is Scene Of Horrible Slavery Where 400 Negro Men and Women Suffered Revenue Officers, Seeking Illicit Whiskey Stills, Find Nest of Gangsters Holding Victims In Terrible Jeopardy Memphis, Tenn.—The astounding disclosure that 400 Negro men and women were kept in virtual slavery by a gang of illicit whiskey makers on Isle 34, twenty-five miles above here on the Mississippi, followed attempts by revenue cutters to reach the island for the purpose of arresting the gang for liquor violation. Two brothers, Sam and A. D. Fraley, were arrested, six members of their gang are in the Memphis jail, and half-clothed and half-starved men and women are being brought from the island to testify against them. It is charged that the Fraleys were making $10,000 gallons of bad num every week, and that the 400 Negroes were forced, by the most cruel abuse to operate the stills. The men were killed and beaten, at least four murders being charged against them, and the women were ravished and abused. for a year, forced to do the Fraley's biddings. All the Negro witnesses are being carefully and securely guarded to protect them from the gang's reprisals. Another "Horror Isle." An escaped colored man has brought to Memphis tidings which show that the gangsters controlled other islands, holding away over 90 percent of the booze peddled in the Mississippi Valley. The body of another suspected informer of the Federal agents was found floating down the Memphis waterfront Dynamited Revenue Boats So desperate were the men in their resistance of government invasions, that dry agents were kept off the island by the dynamiting of government vessels which approached the spot. Sentries gave warning of the hearing vessel, and as soon as anchors were dropped, the gangsters would explode a charge of dynamite, so abrethrew, as to cause the help officers to think the explosions were due to defective engines, to have men now under arrest to have them commissured on Friday before Commissioner Lester Brenner. From their gells, the prisoners have sent out threats against the lives of Attorney General Sam Campbell, two deputy sheriffs and a constable. These threats will be he added to the charges already laid against the gangsters. Known As "Horror Iale." "Horror Isle," as the spot has become known, was visited by Department of justice men, disguised as Negro laborers, and they are reported to have located a grusome graveyard in which the gang's victims were buried, "hidden away in tropical underbrush. The failure of a party of raiders to return to Memphis. up to a late hour Monday night, although they were due to return by "noon, is causing the gravest apprehension. The fact that ships have been dynamited without regard to human life leads officers to believe that if other members of the gang succeed in ambushing the revenue men, the killing of the officers would almost certainly follow. The principal government witnesses are a colored woman, Mary Butt, and her husband, who will testify that they were held captive The Smith-for-President Colored Dague, authorized by the National Democratic Committee, has been formed with the following officers: Julian D. Rainey, Massachusetts, chairman of organization; Mrs. Geraldyn Dismond; New York, vice chairman; Lester A. Walton, New York, chairman of publicity; Mrs. Geraldyn Dismond, New York, vice chairman; Bishop Reverdy C. Ransom, New Jersey, chairman of speaker's burye; Mrs. Ruth Whitehead Whale, New York, vice chairman, Thomas R. Smith, Maryland, chairman of finance; Casper Holstein, New York, vice chairman; James W. Ross, New York, chairman of registration; Frank W. Reed, Holstein, vice chairman. Prominent Negroes throughout the country will serve on the advisory committee of which Ferdinand M. Morton, New York, is chairman and Mrs. Alice Dunbar Vebel D.aware, is vice chairman. The registration has been divided into regional divisions with the eastern director to be selected. Earl R. Jackson, Illinois, is director; Fletcher M. Middle West Division; Robert L. Nelson, Delaware, director of Middle Atlantic Division; Dr. William J. Thompkins, Missouri, director of Central Division. These officers, together with make up of above-named bureaus, will make up the personnel of the executive committee, the chairman of which is to be selected. The South for President Colored League National Headquarters are 120 West 10th street, New York City. for a year, forced to do the Fralcy's biddings. All the Negro witnesses are being carefully and securely guarded to protect them from the gang's reprisals. Another "Horror Isle." An escaped colored man has brought to Memphis tidings which show that the gangsters controlled other islands, holding sway over 90 per cent of the booze peddled in the Mississippi Valley. The body of another suspected informer of the Federal agents was found floating down the Memphis waterfront Tuesday, grim reminder of seven other colored men who tried to supply information to the officers. The missing raiding force has escaped the fate of the other vessels which were "dynamic," but could not penetrate to Island 34 until the gigantic, still had been destroyed. The island is owned by Semi and A.' Fraley, the brothers who were arrested, and who are each out on two bonds, of $500 each. Mrs. Millicent Bowen, Phil Edwards' Sister, Dies While In London What started, out as a happy pilgrimage for two sisters, ended in tragedy, when Mrs. Millicent Bowen wife of Charles E. Bowen, real estate broker of 229 West 138th street, and sister to Phil Edwards, noted New York University track star, was stricken suddenly and died in London on Thursday, August 16. Mrs. Bowen, with her sister, Miss Lucie Edwards, accompanied their brother to Amsterdam, Holland, where he represented Canada in the Olympic games. They had just arrived in London, where their brother was to compete in several international track meets, when Mrs. Bowen was taken sick. No details as to the nature of Mrs. Bowen's illness were received by her husband up to Tuesday afternoon. He stated that he has sent three cablegrams to his sister-in-law for details but had not received a reply. He stated he expected the body to arrive by Tuesday day 6, next week when interment will take place. The late Mrs. Bowen was associated with her husband in the real estate business, as was her sister, who accompanied her on the trip. There was no indication when she left New York that she was in poor health. Mississippi Women Raise $8,000 For A Delinquent Girl Home Washington, D. C.—Twelve women from Mississippi, who attended the National Association of Colored Women convention held here recently, reported that their state had raised $8,000 in two months, in a drive to raise funds to establish the Margaret Murray Washington Home for delinquent girls for which a site has been purchased at Clinton, Miss. 'Other financial achievements of the Mississippi women included $550 for national headquarters; $41,250 for national dues and $300 for subscriptions to national notes. Women in the delegation were Mrs. Mary Bogue of Mound Bayou, National Republican Committeewoman; Mrs. E葵 Burgus, Miller of Yazoo City, state president; Mrs Lucy C. Jefferson of Vickburg, state treasurer; Mrs. Augusta Decease Zuber of West Point, editor of National Notes; Mrs. Frankie Robinson Mrs. Nora Chambliss, Mrs. Jennie O. Johnson, Mrs. Ruth B Irwin and Mrs. Margaret Davis, Jackson, Mrs. Ora Hangum of Clarksdale; Mrs. Bartan H. Taylor of Gulport, and Mrs. C. A. Williams of Durant Richmond, Va.—The demagogue's time-honored trick of appealing to race-prejudice in Southern elections is not getting by this year without vigorous protest. The Richmond News Leader, the most influential Democratic daily in the state, is out in a strong editorial pointing out both the "injustice" and the "unwisdom" of raising the race issue in the present campaign. Slave of Unhounded Pearls. "Why should the South go backward politically?" asks the News Leader. "Why should it be the slave of unfounded fears?" The Nero has not involved himself in this campaign. In the greater part of the South he has been attending his own business, and where he has shown any political stirring whatever, it has been in an effort to affiliate with the Democratic party in protest against ostracism by the Lily White Republicans. Unity of Hate and Ignorance. "The South's political salvation is not to be worked out through a unity of hate; of ignorance, or of self-deception," the editorial concludes. "It would speak exceedingly ill for the Southern Democracy, in this hour of great opportunity, 'it they put aside the real issues for the false. Prejudice against Smith cannot be combated by prejudice against the Negro." This liberal attitude on the part of the News Leader is not surprising in view of the fact that its publisher, John Stewart Bryan, and its editor, Douglas Freeman, are both known to be in hearty accord with the recent Southern movement for inter-racial good will and cooperation. Patrolman Knowles Captures Holdup Men In Early A. M. Chase After a chase through back courts and over fences in the neighborhood of 137th street and Fifth avenue, Patrolman Goldwill Knowles, Shield No. 13492, of the 16th Precinct, captured—two alleged holdup men at 3:20 a.m in Tuesday, August 21. While patrolling his beat, the policeman heard cries for help coming from a restaurant at 1 West 137th street. Running toward the building he saw two men who later proved to be Jasper Martun, 24 years of age, of 26 West 131st street, and Grant Snowden, 24 years old, of 125 West 144th street, running away from the building. The policeman gave chase, following the two fugitives through the hallway at 21 West 137th street and across the court to 30 West 136th street. The policeman closed in and captured the two men at 25 West 137th street. Taking them back to the scene of the crime, they were coopfronted by Samuel Blunt, cashier, of 287 West 150th street, who told the officer that the men had held him up at the point of a revolver and taken the receipts from the cash register amounting to $34.15. He also said that one had struck him over the head with a blackjack when he yelled for help. A search of the prisoners discovered the black jack but the pistol was not found. It is thought that the weapon was thrown away during the chase. The men were assigned in the Heights Court and held without bail for further examination on Thursday. Large Heights Apartment House To Be Available On Cooperative Plan Large Heights Apartment House To Be Available On Cooperative Plan Because of the recent invasion of Negroes in the vicinity, the beautiful apartment house at 880 St. Nicholas avenue has been turned over for Negro occupancy. The house was recently purchased by a group of prominent Harlem business men, headed by Solomon Riley of 411 Manhattan avenue. The building is a six-story structure of brick and limestone and contains 36 apartments of 5, 6 and 7 rooms. It is valued at $250,000. There are now 14 vacancies among the white families and the new owners will sell the apartments on the cooperative plan through the Manhattan Real Estate Exchange of 321 West 117th street. The renting office is open daily until 8:30 p. m. NEW YORK, N. Y., SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1928 COUNSELLOR MYLES PAIGE TO ENTER SEPTEMBER PRIMARY AS CANDIDATE FOR ASSEMBLY Negro Republicans in the 19th Assembly District who are tired of bowing their heads always to Nordic dictation in the matter of political preferment are to have an opportunity to register the extent of their dissatisfaction in the September 18. Primary by voting to designate Counsellor Myles Paige as the regular party nominee for the State Assembly instead of the present incumbent, Abraham Grenthal, who is also the party district leader. An Able Candidate tons filed with the Board of Elections, last day for such filing, gave Mr. Paige a key for the nomination. One of the most group of lawyers in Harlem, Mr. Paige says a fitness for this designation, and that he will be able in every way to per man if nominated and elected. Withstanding that the Rev. Dr. William Pet Baptist Church, had formally decline a candidate for the Congressional nomination. It is believed, however, that his or other prominent Harlemite will be name a car candidate.

Laveelle, long a lawyer in Harlem, an original agitator for race electives has also filed for the congressional nom Petitions filed with the Board of Elections on Tuesday, August 21, the last day for such filing, gave Mr. Paige official standing as a candidate for the nomination. One of the most promising of the younger group of lawyers in Harlem, Mr. Paige has demonstrated in various ways a fitness for this designation, and his native ability ensures that he will be able in every way to perform the duties of an Assemblyman if nominated and elected. Notwithstanding that the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes, pastor of Mr. Olivet Baptist Church, had formally declined to accept designation as a candidate for the Congressional nomination, petitions were filed for him. It is believed, however, that his declination is final and that another prominent Harlemite will be named for designation as the regular candidate. Former Assemblyman Edward A. Johnson's name is under consideration and there is a strong likelihood that he will be named to make the race. Louis A. Laveille, long a lawyer in Harlem, who is making the fight as an original agitator for race elective representation from Harlem, has also filed for the congressional nomination.

While the party leadership is probably settled for the next year, there is the more reason that the Negro voters should exert themselves to the point of securing for the race the share of political recognition that is embodied in the State Assembly seat. There is in evidence increasing displeasure on part of men and women of the race against those colored men and women who are actively supporting Leader Abraham Greenthal in his program of repression of race recognition. Congressman Celler Points To Need Of Disciplinary Enactment For The Curbing of Unfair, Unjust Judges Points To Recent Utterances Of Judge Atwell of Texas When He Scored Brooklyn Lawyer, Telling Woman To Move From Negroes The biased and prejudiced attitude of Federal District Judge William H. Atwell of Texas, as shown in his utterances from the bench of the Brooklyn Federal Court which were reproduced in The Age last week, has called forth severe condemnation from all sides. Judge Atwell, in sentencing an Italian woman convicted of selling alleged whiskey, took occasion to advise her to move away from her present residence, where both Negroes and whites were her customers, saying that "White people and Negroes cannot live together." At the same time the hectoring Judge severely excoriated Attorney F. R. Serri, counsel for the woman, and when the lawyer protested the indignities heaped upon him from the bench, he was threatened with being sent to jail along with his client. As a result of Judge Atwell's attitude, Attorney Serri sent a long letter of protest to Chief Justice William H. Taft, but it has been pointed out since then that only Circuit Judge Learned Hand, who made the assignment bringing Judge Atwell to the Brooklyn Court, had the power to reprimand or punish the offending Judge by sending him back home. well need to be taken by the scruff of the neck for rebuke and punishment. Congressman Celler wires: "The unjustifiable rebuke given to Mr. E. A. Serri, a member of the New York Bar, by U. S. District Judge William H. Atwell of Dallas, Texas, now assigned to Brooklyn, and that Judges general conduct on the bench, merits condicion criticism. He hectors lawyers and badgers defendants. No Negro could possibly hope to get a faint trial before him. No Means of Discipline. "His capricious comment, his impious ways and severity in prohibition sentences have aroused the citizenry of Brooklyn. His irregularities as yet do not arise to high crimes and misdemeanors, otherwise I would unhesitatingly impeach him on the floor of the House next December. It would be well for him to mend his ways. In the meantime, Congressman Emanuel Celler of the 10th Congressional District, Brooklyn, has sent a telegraph to The New York Age indignantly denouncing the Texas Judge and denouncing the Texas Judge and declaring that such Judges as "At sale Wednesday and prospective tenants are not being asked to form their own corporation, nor to deposit large sums of money for their collective purchases.

That is too cumbersome and political a means to be expedient. Some Federal Judges selected for life sometimes become most despotic. They are not compelled to face an electorate. There is no day of reckoning. They develop an aburd noblesse oblige. "The Serri case emphasizes the need of my measure becoming a law. It sets up a disciplinary tribunal composed of the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, together with the senior Circuit Judge and one District Judge from each circuit. They could provide means and rules for effective disciplinary action. "I cast no aspersions on the Federal Bench. It is honorable in the main, but some of its offending members, like Awell, need to be taken by the scruff of the neck for rebuke and punishment." Dr. ROBERT R. MOTON President National Negro Business League. ANP. Byrd Antartic Trip Offers Race a Chance Race interest in the coming Byrd Antacite Expedition is predicated on the possibilities of at least one Negro being a member of the exploring party. This possibility depends, however, upon the securing of some share of the necessary financial support required for the expedition. Other interests concerned have realized this and an association of thirty-seven prominent citizens has been formed, known as the Byrd Aviation Association, for the purpose of raising a $500,000 fund for the Byrd venture. From this group an advisory committee has been parured, composed of F. Truebbe Davidson, Edward P. Warner, Wm. P. McCracken and Admiral Wm. A. Moffett. Charles Evans Hughes is chairman of the executive committee and Edsel Ford is treasurer. The opportunity for Negro representation on this trip of exploration will depend, it is believed, upon a racial response to the financial requirements of the expedition by the underwriting of some share of the needed fund. The entire expedition, it must be noted, is being financed by voluntary contributions from all elements of the population 200 Reported Dead In Haitian Hurricane 200 Reported Dead In Haitian Hurricane Port au Prince, Haiti—The death list in the hurricane which swept the Island of Haiti was placed at 200 on Wednesday, as relief expeditions made their way into ruined villages. So far as can be determined no foreigners were among the casualties. The storm struck the island the night of August 10 and crossed the central portion of the southern peninsula from north to south. Several villages were practically destroyed, including Saint Louis De Soul, in which only one house was left standing. President Borno has appealed to the United States, through the Associated Press for aid in the work of rehabilitation.

Moton, president, urging a "10-Year Program for Negro Business," in his annual address to the National Negro Business League on Wednesday night, August 15, in its 29th annual session held here in New York City, the need of cooperation in Negro business was the note most frequently sounded from platform and floor during the sessions. Outline Ten Year Program How best to promote a ten year program for Negro business was considered "from a number of angles," George S. Schuyler of The Messenger and The Pittsburgh Courier indicated the place of the press in such a program. The place of the bank was outlined by C. C. Spaulding, president of the Farmers and Mechanics Bank of Durham, N. C.; that of the church by Rev. Richard H. Bowling of Norfolk, Virginia; that of the school by John W. Davis, president of West Virginia Collegiate Institute; that of the fraternal organization by John L. Webb, supreme Custodian of the Woodmen of the Union, Hot Springs, Arkansas. Gordon Simpson made a report of the survey of Negro business which he is conducting for the purpose of determining the According to Mr. Simpson, lack of sufficient capitalization, of record keeping and appreciation for the value of advertising are among the handicaps holding Negro business back. In some cities, however, the survey has discovered a very definite expansion in Negro business. Present Health Awards The health factor in business was discussed by Dr. Roscoe C. Eldun, director of the Cleanliness Institute, and Dr. W. W. Peter of the same institute. R. W. Emerson of the National Clean-up and Paint-up Campaign Bureau presented cups to the representatives of the following cities and communities which best observed National Negro Health week which the league in conjunction with the United States Public Health Service annually promotes: Cincinnati among cities of over 100,000 population; Henderson, Kentucky among cities of less than 100,000; and Montgomery County, among rural districts. Henderson received an additional prize for the most effective health work done in all classes. The meeting was addressed by a number of prominent people in business and other field.

Indorse Porters Union Resolutions indorsing collective bargaining between employer and employee with special reference to the Brotherhood of the Pollman Porters; and urging citizens to participate in elections, municipal state and national, were adopted. The work of the Harlem Committee of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association was admirably set forth by Mrs. Mabel Keaton R. N., executive secretary. Another interesting health exposition was made by Dr. Roscoe C. Edlund, director, Cleanliness Institute, 45 East 17th street, who spoke on Friday morning on "Cleanliness and Health." Exhibit Wares On exhibit were products valued at $6,000 in which Harlem merchants and other business men deal. These included merchandise and industries of a wide variety. The community house of the Mother Zion All the meetings were held in that church except the one of Wednesa day night which was held in the Abyssinian Baptist Church. Delegates from 26 states and two foreign countries were in attendance at the meeting. The New York local league of which Fred R. Moore, Alderman, and veteran editor of The New York Age, is president, was host to the meeting which was one of the best which the league has held in recent years. Lemuel L. Foster is secretary and Watt Terry, treasurer of the local league. Some Music Numbers. One of the most enjoyable features of the league's programs was the music rendered by various of the city's most noted artists. On the opening night; besides the singing of the junior choir of Abyssinian Baptist Church, the Misses Marie P. and Ella Davis, sisters, of New Rochelle, gave, respectively, piano and vocal numbers of pleasing merit. Miss Minnie Brown, soprano, soloist in the choir of St. Mark's M. E. Church, was especially gratifying to the large audience that heard her sing. She was accompanied at piano by Mrs. Sylvia Ward Olden. Another interesting feature was the appearance of a group of singers from the "Show Boat" company, led by J. Mardo Brown, who is not only a tenor of good quality, but is one of the hits of the show in his "drum major" specialty.

And Mr. Moog, "Fred" Moorel whom no one calls "Prederick"—with the face of a statesman and an insatiate ability for work, affable, efficient, moving about the room with his keenly scrutinizing glance, seeing to it, and delighting nothing; never losing his poise and looking as refreshed at the close of the convention as he was at the beginning—slight wonder it is that he has made a success of the New York Branch of the Business League, an agent and youthful, with his every action giving the lie to his handsome white hair (as if anything so distinguished needed an excuse) with all of us who know him, holding our breath until he pronounce characteristic word, operation, waiting only two seconds for it. I wished that every one there could make a pilgrimage to Durham, in order to appreciate the domination personality of Mr. Spaulding who moved so calmly and manfully, waiting only two seconds of the simplicity of greatness, there sat Mr. Watt Terry 'way back on the rear bench, simply dressed and covered with almost bashful modesty—thinking in thousands where we think in numbers, in the dense jungle with hundreds, unobtrusive and quiet—man whose work speaks for him so loudly that he needs no blare of trumpets.

And many, many others who helped to make this twenty-ninth conference of the National Negro Business League an affirmative success, especially in the outlook of its splendid ten year program. And now, to close—politics or no politics, hats off to the "late" Jimmy Walker, Mayor of New York, who ran true to form by arriving an hour before the audience with his irresistible personality and who brought a cheery message of friendliness and good will. SCHOOL'S PLACE IN THE 10-YEAR BUSINESS PROGRAM Pres. Davis Outlines A Definite Plan of Operation for Schools SCHOOL'S PLACE IN THE 10-YEAR BUSINESS PROGRAM Pres. Davis Outlines A Definite Plan of Operation for Schools In the "10-Year Business, Program" advised by Dr. Robert Russell Moton, president, in his annual address to the National Negro Business League, six elements were cited by various speakers as having places in the program: the Press, the Bank, the Insurance Company, the Church, the School and the-Fraternal Organization. Just what will be the sphere of the school's activities in working out this program was outlined by John W. Davis, president of the West Virginia Collegeatate Institute, the University of Georgia, and definite suggestions looking toward the successful eventuation of Dr. Moton's pan. Declaring that education, with its constant change, is to help in the adjusting of men and women to their life tasks; that business employs thousands and influences manners to thousands and necessities of considering ways and means to secure the largest returns for the efforts put forth. Thrift Programs Important. Mr. Davis gave as his first suggestion that Education must be looked upon as guided growth. that shift programs should be important considerations in every kindergarten college. that colleges should establish credit unions as cooperative banking schemes Another suggestion was that business men must be a part of the extension faculty of schools and colleges. utilization of agencies outside of educational institutions includes, said Mr. Davis, "the school going to the people," with the world as the school's largest laboratory. A strong middle-class group is essential to racial perpetuity, as a link between the overlaid and the white-collar groups of Negroes, the students being mutually interdependent. Labor Is Essential Other suggestions included the enthrancement of dignity in labor as essential to cultural advancement; vocational education as an active program; health and hygiene, as well as morals and manners, as necessary courses; more research activities as aids to business success; and the ability to afford opportunity for creative work; educational clearance for work and service; trained workers in all avenues, particularly farm and rural life; economic betterment through land and farm ownership; cultivation of the social and business side of life as related to religion, thus bringing physical and mental well-being; largement; and, finally, a magazine of Negro business to assist the schools in their work. And INVESTMENTS 2303 7th AVENUE New York Bradhurst 1048 One of the most important expositions of the 10-Year Program for Negro Business as set up by Dr. Robert Russa Moton, president of the National Negro Business League, in his annual address on Wednesday night, August 15, at Abyasinian Baptist Church, came on Thursday morning with the addresses by Dr. Frank M. Surface and James A. Jackson both of the Department of Commerce, on "Retail Merchandising." Dr. Surface, who is assistant director, Domestic Commerce Bureau, U. S. Bureau of Commerce, detailed the operations of chain store systems, making striking compari- wholesale and retail methods. Surveys have shown, said the speaker, that the department has primarily a wholesale distribution agency, but its methods eliminate the travelling salesman and other intermediary expenses. Chain Store Operation A prime factor in the economical administration of a chain store, said Dr. Surface is, that by its system or monthly inventory and the chain just what merchandise is actually moving from the shelves with satisfactory rapidity, enabling the discontinuance of handling of lines of goods for which there is no profitable demand. That the retail dealer ought to be the store in a successful manner was shown by the speaker when he said that elimination of lines of goods for which there is scant demand would reduce the retailer's cost of operation, and at the same time enlarge the store in these dead lines which can then be invested in live lines of merchandise. This, too, it was shown, would enable the retail merchant to secure definite data as to the cost of selling attached to each line of goods, and to know where his most profitable tradings lie. Helping Small Merchants. Just how the United States Government is helping the small retail merchant was told in the address by Mr. Jackson, who is an assistant business specialist in the Domestic Commerce Division, this position having been created by Mr. Jackson of Commerce Harbor Hoover in response to a direct request by Dr Moton, who urged the value to he derived from such work as being done by Mr. Jackson to retail merchants of all classes. Mr. Jackson's address was on "What the United States Department of Commerce is Doing for Small Cell Merchants!" Mr. Jackson paid tribute to the League's activities, pointing to himself and his work as living examples of the accomplishments of the body, declaring that but for this body it is likely that there would be no one evening in my capacity as an instrument through which the business people of this group high object to the government has placed at the disposal of the business interest of the nation." Continuing Mr. Jackson said: "You have already heard, my chief, Dr. Frank M. Surface, assistant director of the Bureau of commerce, the head of the absolute head of the division of our bureau devoted to domestic commerce. His greater knowledge of the work, his many more years of experience supplementing as they do a broader basic education and training, has provided you more contacts, has provided you more authentic talk than I could possibly present. And, may I state right here, that without his counsel and sympathetic understanding of the problems of our group, whatever success I may have had in the past, I have been in vain. We owe him thanks for his splendid attitude toward our problems. Some Government Services. I shall briefly sketch for you some few of the services the government is providing for the small business men and women that are available to you as to any other Best by Tort Binge 1857 Take Advice!

"The government, through the Department of Commerce, has assumed to do those things for the small business man that no one individual business could afford to do for itself. It has taken over the facts and is certainting the facts which underlie the job of assembling data and compiling statistics upon which the business man may find his judgment as to the study of market trends to guide either in buying stocks of merchandise or in the selling end of the business. It has organized the organized research groups for the organized research groups of whole trade areas and whole territories to thee end that every merchant may have a broader grasp of the commercial world in which he must exist. "It has established an inquiry section sustained by research agencies and an immense library of commercial information always ready to be by staff of trained clerks who are able to obtain the answer to every legitimate question the merchant or prospective merchant may propose. Should the desired information no be found in government publications, reports or library, the response to one's question will take the necessary directions as to just what institutional organization, or publication may be in position to meet one's need. Answered 18,000 Queries "The fact that more than eighteen thousand questions, originating with merchants all over the country have been answered, testifies to the value of this service to the public." "The are many engaged in merchandising and offer opportunities failed to provide them much training as they might have desired; or whom fate or circumstances has obliged to keep so everlastingly at the duties incident to their business as to deny them time for much study of modern methods, the latest devices and newly designed practices. The government service is a boon to the Department of Commerce is a boon to such as these. "In the many publications compiled and released by the Domestic Commerce Division may be found one or more, of particular interest to persons in almost every line of business. These publications, in some instances, are given free distribution; and in no instance do more than one in a comparative pittance, more than one in the each contains a liberal education upon some specific phase of business "Should you desire to learn more about advertising appropriations, community advertising, budgeting your business, retail store leasing, warehouse contracts, wholesale trade territories, meat markets and milling of meats, to know the market for your business, to know the country, something of traffic as it effects trade, store types, or something of trade association activities your government has sent to the convention printed matter that will be helpful to you. You may thus be introduced to something that will be instrumental in making one a better merchant, in making your business more efficient, in cultivate your conduct of business with greater efficiency, and perhaps make you a greater contributor to the general welfare of the country. Specific Assistance. "In addition to these general helps available to every business man or woman, regardless of distinctions of any sort, may I. inject here a mention of some specific assistance granted, or is granting to this organization and its affiliations. "You are doubtless fully informed of the survey of Negro business and markets being conducted by a National. Business. League staff that is now touring the country. That quartet of capable investigators that originate with your government through the office of Dr. Surface who is, as a member of the committee charged with supervising the functions. If nothing more were done, this alone merits the Bureau finding favor with you. Another, and somewhat older series of policy of cooperating in providing material for the "Business and Industry" series of articles that since last December have been released with clocklike regularity to our newspapers by the Associated Negro Press, and in rendering similar coercion to the authorities. The value of these articles to merchants seem obvious if we may judge by the reader interest disclosed in correspondence. The Department of Commerce will gladly cooperate with and editor in publication of the facts destined to help the little fellows better business. If this material accomplishes its objective of making merchants more aggressive, those some people will profit in several obvious ways. An Insurance Survey. "For some time our group has been agitated by what to some of us has been deemed to be unfair discrimination which we as know are based upon vital statistics. We have likewise been concerned with the ratio of insurance of the group that is being carried by our own insurance rate, the burden of definite, accurate and complete information on statistical character has heretofore nullified arguments pro or con, on these matters. Recognizing the basis value of authoritative charted data upon a subject, that so greatly affects our business, because insurance is the dominant interest, the Domestic Mercury Division, in conjunction with the National Negro Insurance Association, is now surveying that field, so you may be assured that days of emotional argument continue, because insurance will soon be succeeded by founded upon the certain premise of statistics. These, with the acquence of the Bureau to every request for a representative to explain its workings; to present new business viewpoints; to help advance efforts toward biggity, and to educate the people to recognize the necessity of abandoning the idea of doing business upon emotional grounds, by appeal to distinctions instead of doing business upon established principles people alike, have been the services of the government to the small merchant and to the public at large. "With your cooperation and intelligent utilization of these services as an encouraging influence, the commerce hopes, not only to establish our services, but to expand its already extensive machinery to the end that all business may become more efficient; and because of the interdependence of the commerce of the nation that our country will be bettered therein." Negro Business League Endorses Porters' Union The Negro Business League, founded by Booker T. Washington, now headed by Dr. Robert Russon Moton, president of Tuskegee Institute, in its conference in New York, August 17, endorsed the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters. The League represents the outstanding New York of the race. Its action indicates the unity of the race behind the Pullman porters' fight for justice and fairplay. Dr. Moton invited the general organizer, A. Philip Randolph, to address the conference on the porters' fight.

PROGRAM READY AT CHICAGO FOR BIG ELKS' CONVENTION No Opposition Of Importance To Reelection Of Finley Wilson PROGRAM READY AT CHICAGO FOR BIG ELKS' CONVENTION No Opposition Of Importance To Reelection Of Finley Wilson Chicago, Ill.—With the Elks convention week at hand (August 26 to 31), plans for entertaining the delegates and visitors completed, the grand lodge entertainment committee has focused its attention upon the pulled off in Chicago beginning Monday night, August 27.

The committee has arranged for a Mardi Gras and carnival through the office to inure visitors and friends a good time. There will be something of interest and entertainment going on every hour.

James Hoover of North Adams, a member of the lodge, was also enthusiastic in his praise of the Republican party. He stated that all Bison life is life for the Republican ticket if for no other reason than the Emancipation Proclamation, that liberated so many members of his race. The social developed into an informal political rally, and a number of talks by members of the lodge were given offering suggestions to those present as to the mayor in which they should vote this fall. Guests of the evening included Leroy S. Hart, a graduate of Williams College and of the University of California, and at present a teacher at the Bluefield Institute, Buffalo, W.

Director of the Louisville Urban League. Louisville, Ky.—There are approximately eight thousand colored children attending the public schools of Louisville, out of a total Negro population conservatively estimated at fifty thousand. There are thirty-two thousand white children, out of a total white population of three hundred thousand. For the year ending June 30 1927 the total expenditure for all purposes by the Board of Education was $2,639,610.17 $400,000 of the above amount was spent on colored children, which is one-seventh of the total expenditure. These figures are interesting since Negroes constitute just one-seventh of the total city population. Improvements have been made to some of the elementary schools which brings the total expenditure on colored schools up to $1,000,000. This money for capital expenditure came out of the $5,000,000 bond is sue voted in the November election of 1925. Thus the Negroes, while constituting only one-seventh of the population, realized one-fifth of the The annual per pupil cost is as follows: White high school $133.08; colored high school, $103.63; white elementary school, $69.86; colored elementary school, $60.98; normal classes, white, $237.04; normal classes, colored, $156.04. Two new junior high schools are under construction for colored children, which, when completed, will accommodate about sixteen hundred pupils. These buildings will be equipped with shops and the necessary machinery for teaching a number of trades. A department of vocational guidance is being contemplated, with the hope of giving adequate attention to the needs of each pupil.

Thus the Negroes, while constituting only one-seventh of the population, realized one-fifth of the money from the sale of these bonds. The economic status of the Negro in Louisville, as in other parts of the country, makes it imperative that something be done towards giving more practical courses to Negro children. Since the Negro constitutes very largely a wage earning group he must increase his technique if he is to compete with the highly developed efficiency of his white neighbor.

It all happened in the wake of a beautiful girl's suicide The girl, a stenographer, in one of the Internal Revenue Bureau's stenographic pools, left a note for her mother in which she wrote that cause of her rash act was the distraction to which she had been driven by the constant clacking of so many typewriters. * No Negroes In Pool. There were and there are no colored persons in the Internal Revenue Bureau pools. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Blair of North Carolina, defending the practice of "the general system of segregation of stenographic employees," which Blair says "has been approved by the Bureau of Efficiency, after exhaustive investigations by experts of that bureau," said, according to the Washington Post, that the young suicide had not complained to her superiors or the distraction by type-writers nor that her work was too strenuous. The young woman had been allied for some time prior to her self-destruction. Dr Hickling, however, while disclaiming knowledge of the causes of the young lady's suicide, does know that "the efficiency rating system has resulted in much injustice and much unhappiness. I have had three or four cases." said Dr Hickling, "come to my personal attention which convinces me of that." Makes Stenos Miserable. He said the system makes the employees miserable and wretched; that they worry about whether they will make the necessary rating and depression sets in. "If this continues," concluded Dr. Hickling, "the result citizen is a 'serious nervous breakdown'." Obviously, it is at this stage that segregation. the characterization given the stenographer pools by Commissioner Blair himself, permits the clacking typewriters to finish the nerve wrecking—of white girls. Backing: Dr. Hickling's expert medical testimony is that of the experienced laity, led by Mrs. Margaret Hopkins Worrell, head of the League of American Civil Service who, says the Washington Post, has stated that thousands of women have broken down under the strain of trying to maintain their ratings under the efficiency system as it is now administered. The league seeks to have the system abolished. "A far as is known no colored women have broken down 'under the strain', and, certainly, none has suicided in consequence HELLO EVERYBODY STARR HAWLEY Announcing STATION V. T. R.

SMASHING POLITICAL, PREJU- 2 DICES. ~The Nation, the liberal, weekly of which Oswald Garrison Villard is the ed: itor, hailed the war of the Southern bish- ‘ops over the wetness of Governor ‘Smith ‘as 2 serious challenge to the trinity of social attitudes which’ rule the South. These are given as loyalty to Protestant- ism, allegiance to.Democracy and “keep- _ing the nigger in his place.”»That num: ber of the ultra-respéctable leaders of that section should announce their-inten- tion of }oting for Hoover.\causes the Na- tion to rejoice that'they.are smashing the political prejudices that have kept the "South, solid. ° The main question raised “by ‘this ac- stion, Which the Nation says is” still to be answered, is whether those who oppose the election of Srhith will dare’to ‘permit the Negroes to vote with them. for the (Republican ticket. It guesses, however, ‘that the ultra-dry bishop’ will never.open . their mouths about the Negro Vote.. In which opinion the Nation editor is ai- doubtedly ¢orrect. This silence as to the ‘Negro vote in the South, except in such “states of Kentucky and Tennessee, where it is heard from at the polls. is likely tc prevail in both’ parties. That the typical attitude of the South toward the Negro is not going to be sub- vordinated to its dislike of Governoi Smith's religion or his wet views, was shown in the editorial pronouncement of the’ Atlanta Constitution, which declared that “in the pending. national campaign The question of white supremacy is para- Jimount and supercedes every controversial issic.” The South is wedded to its idols among which color prejudice is its great Mumbo Jumbo; which it fears and wor; ships. All other issues fade Vefore. this obsession. which apparently-- the , South “clings to even when it could he removed ‘Why, in the face of an obsession like this, the South should have objected so stren -uously .to the migration of’ the Negro is “hard to tiriderstand. The South is not yet prepared 16 smash its idols, although that day may be on the “way, helped in some degree by the nom: sination of Governor Smith. an DISTRICT LEADERSHIP. The question of leadership. in the teenth Assembly ‘district, divested entangling alliances or equivecation put in plain terms by a white man was familiar with the situation, H bluntly and positively: “Fred Mo right in fighting for race recognitio Jewish, and ‘We would certainly ta fence if our race was treated wit lack of consideration which is shown the Negro in Harlem. "Ar would. take.control of the district The question of leadership-in the Nine- Reenth Assembly -district, divested of al entangling alliances or equivecations, wa: put in plain terms by a white man, whe was familiar with the situation. He said bluntly and positively: “Fred Moore is right in fighting for race recognition. In Jewish, and ‘We would certainly take of fence if our race was treated with, the lack of consideration which is being shown, the Negro in Harlem. .And we would, take-control of the district if we were’ in majority." * David B. Costuma, the former leader “of the district, in a letter to Alderman Moore, said that he had advised Assem- blyman Grénthal not to seek renomina- -tion last year, but to devote his time tc the upbuilding of the.'party in the dis: “triet. He was still of the same opinion for he felt that “the interests, not only of the constituency of the district. but of the Republican party! will be best served “when the majority clement is given full- est’ representation. Our country» was founded on this principle and I feel that common justice should dictate that course.” ‘The Negro voters in this case ‘constitute the majority element, . A few fair-minded white men, who have the courage of their céintictions, are will- ing Yo voice their ‘sentiments in this wise, hut all voters, Kepublicans ‘or Democrats, act along the lines ‘set forth above ‘in se- lecting their, leaders. . Hence, ‘in’ a dis trict in which Irish voters predominate; we find the leadership held by one of that nationality, If theidistrivt is largely pop- ulated by Italians, an-Italian will he the leader, or if it isa Jewish stronghold the leader is of that race. So strong is this racial feeling in a great city like New York, that the -roli of district leadership ig representative of a league of nations. “When , Representative LaGuardia, one of the most popular vote getters among the Italian yoters, became too independ ent;for the Republican machine and the regular nomination: for Congress Was_re fused him, his, native constituents stbo¢ firmly! beliind him and sent, him'back te Congress as an independent .candidate ‘Thereafter the Republican machine gave Major LaGuardia the regular nomination Such was the régult of united racial sup: port among the Italians. "| ~ The, same thing is possible for the Ne gro voters of Harlem, if they are in, earn. est in demanding racial leadership. They can have it any tine _ that -they: really Want it. “But they must be prepared, tc pay the price that: such . action: entails They can depose Assemblyman Grentha as’ the regular candidate any time tha they come out -to.the primary electior and’ vote against . him... They ‘will » have that opportunity. next month ° by “voting for Myles Paige as the’regular candidate for Assemblyman." That should be, the first step?toward the. assertion of leader. ships gues Ce \. -NEED.OF COOPERATION. ‘The twentyninth annual session of the National Negro Business League, - held in New York City, last week, was mark- ed by more than ordinary’ significance. Besides being, the occasion of drawing to- gether business men and women, from all sectioné of the .country,; who have made good in their ventures, there was’ present- fed the unusual feature® “of an’/industrial exposition, which included. exhibits from ‘the Pacific coast.” ‘The interest of the Na- tional government in ‘the welfare of the retailer was denoted - by ‘a showing of devices and.:plans:to “aid ‘the’ small, busi- ness man, prepared by the Department of Commerce, <a : The presence of Mayor Walker. of New York at one of the sessions, who wel- comed the delegates on behalf of the city, was a graceful gesture on the part of the municipality, the chief executive pérform- ing his task with usual felicity. What- ever may be the shortcomings of the mu- nicipai administration, it cannot .be. com: plained that it-falls, short in the matter of greeting visitors to the town and mak- ing them feel that:they are welcome to its freedom. Equally warm words of wel- come were spoken in -behali of the doc- tors, the lawyers. the mipisters and the business ‘men. The keynote of the meeting was sound- ed by Dr. Moton, in his annual address as president of the League. in which he declared that events Of recent months “emphasize as never before the need of coopefating among Negro business men,” He urged the necessity of adopting a pro- gram for the next’ ten years, ‘to be de- voted to the task of solidifying’ our ranks in the eld of tommercial enterprises.! He referred. to the survey made to determine the cause of the economic shortcomings ‘of the racé, atid the organization by the Department of Commerce of a division to bestow: special attention upon.the com- mercial problems of the Negro. ‘The re- sults shown through these agencies have been gratifying. in that they have point- ed out the weak pgints of the situation. One of tke chief deficiencies discovered was the lack of cooperation among our men in business: local organization. of some kind was recommended...regardless ‘of what name was given to the body. so that a certain measure of conperation could be, maintainet for the furtherance of business success. Without stch coopera- tion; it was declared useless to hope to bring about the results’ aimed at in the ‘promotion of business development. That there is ample'room for such development was shown hy the discovery that in the field of. retail merchandising Negro mer- ‘chants are handling only two per cent of the business ‘among our pgople. “There was found room for expansion Jn, this field that would open up great’ business opportunities for. the’ young men and iyomen of the race, as it-is estimated that the ninety-cight per cent of retail busi- ness not handled by the race gives, em- ployment to six hundred thousand peo- ple. The drawbacks to the establishment of successful business enterprises among the race, as shown in the survey, .were indicated by the fact that most of them avere short lived,.but few extending into the second generation, ‘This mennt that as a race sve are constantly starting over again, without. making substantial pro- gress.in any one direction, ‘This may be due partly to the feeling of the second’ generation against carrying’on the. trade or-profession that has furnished the fath- eta livelihood, “Then the small busiiiess man is found to be lacking in the keep- ing of accurate Fecords of his affairs. so ‘thatthe only way he has of gauging his progress is by the.amount of his cash re~ ceipts, Inadequate advertising » methods were alsv held responsible for the failure to build up most lines of business, + As Dr, Moton truly Said, “no race can climb the ladder of progress’ faster than ‘THE WEW YORK AGE the development of its business eriterpris- es. We are living in an age of fact find ing,"an age of ‘scientific-analysis; an‘age ‘of cooperation.. And, certainly ‘there ia ‘no'more ‘serious problem. facing. us: today than biuilding’ up Negro. business’ aroun¢ facta This can best be done by;the es tablishment and strengthening _ of ‘loca leagues in the various: cities, so that ou business men may take advantge of the valuable information” now available ‘through -the' investigations made by the Business League. ad . The problem ‘of Securing tooperatior among’ the ,race'is not confined: to the business world, but is manifesting’ itsel in politics and in other phases of socia activity. Dr. Moton’ was inclined to at tribute this lack of. concerted action te the fact ‘that-thé -Negro has made his struggles; toward freedom and progres largely as an individual. - This individu alism has served its use'but now stands in the Way of greater economic -progress where the interests of the individual’ mus! be ‘subordinated to the welfare of the group. When the balance can’ be struck fairly -betvieen the functions’ of individ ualism and of .racial “cooperation, there may come. about a better outlook for the ‘future of our business ventures.” THE CONGRESSIONAL SITUATION The designation for the Congressional nomination on the .Republican ‘ticket in ithe ‘Twentyfirst district. of “New “York seems to have gone” begging’ for accept: ance, so, fat as a .racial ‘candidate is con: irned, ‘the Rev. William P. Hayes hav- ing joined Alderman Hawkins in declin- ing the honor. Dr. Hayes’ reason for his decision, the weliave of the church of which he is pastor, which requires undi- jvided attention and care, is all sufficient and his choice will be approved by those conversant with the situation: The com- mittee will have to find another candidate to make the fight. In Chicago. Former Aldermai Oscar DePriest, who was slated as the regular Kepublican nominee to succeed the late Representative Madden, is threatened with opposition within the party at the primary, but the Thompson machine will probably carry him through. The move- ment to nominate a Negro on the Dem- geratic ticket to oppose him does not ap- pear to have met With acceptance among the leaders of the opposition. ‘In another Chicago district, Wham Hafrison wl be the regular Republican ~ candidate, with good chances of election. A peculiar situation will be presented in St. Louis, where a young colored law; yer named McLemore has been named for the regular Democratic ‘nomination to op- pose Congressman Dyer, the author of the Dyer anti-lynching bill. This will precipitate a curions contest and clashing of opinions. If. Missouri Democrats sup- port the regular ucket, they will be ,vot- ing.for a Negro representative, and if they jump to the Republican side they: will put the stamp of their- disapproval on lynch- ing.» The Negro voters will he placed in adilemna almost equally awkward, of either voting against a race candidate or turning down the’ anti-lynching advocate. “Out of this conglomeration of mixed motives and cbnfieting interests, the race should emerge with one dr more repre- seniatives in the next Congress, which may mark the beginning of a new era in politics, $ ‘VIRGIN ISLANDS RELIEF. ‘The New York Herald Tribune, the high priest of latterday Republicanism, printed an editorial last Sunday, which may have heen intended as facetious, in which it referred somewhat Rippantly to the cconomic distress prevailing “in the Virgin Islands, since the purchase of that territory from Denmark.

In the absence of the pastor, Dr. A. C. Garner, the service was in charge of W. Herbert King, summer assisstion. Mr. King took his ext from Laura 12:20, and us his subject "The Rich Fool". It was a difficult subject, but Mr. King showed that he was thoroughly conversant with it and gave the congregation much food for thought. He told us plainly that it was not great richer that made food for us, it was rainy and failure to share their meals or to use them to further the work of serving God that had them fools. The singing by the male chorus, which took the place of the absent chorus members was one of the features of the service. They rendered two numbers, "O. B Come let us worship," with N. B Scott as the tenor soloist; and Hovey is my Honor, much praise should be given the male chorus and their director and organist, Miss Olive Jeter, for the exceptionally fine music given the congregation.

Olivet Baptist Church There was a fairly large attendance at the morning service at Mount Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday, August 19. The Junior Chair sang. He W. P. Hayes preached. He selected his text from Psalm 121:1; "I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from which cometh my help." The theme of his discourse was the joy of being on the hill top with the Lord. In the earliest times everything was done on a hill top. Our Lord was crucified on a hillshaped hill. He ascended from a hill. At the evening service, Rev Hayes preached about acquaintance with God. When we are acquainted with Him, we have a real fellowship together; and also comes into close relationship with Him. We learn how to trust and serve Him better. Two people joined the church and the collection for the day amounted to $667.75. Calvary M. E. Church Rev. E. W. Rakesrow, pastor, returned on Sunday after a brief vacation and preached an instructive sermon on "Misplaced Interest, from St. Luke 10:20. Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you but rather rejoice because you want to be a Christian. He said Christianity is, a religion of joy, and we as Christians often make a mistake by displaying a life of woe and complaining, even in our testimonies. True, christians should not grouch. Christianity inculcates interest in the welfare of others but before man can become interested in others he must have a sense of what himself has been saved. Each day we must renew our relationship with God by earned prayer. In the evening the pastor spoke briefly but forcefully from Proverbs 10:15. "The destruction of the poor is their poverty. We are poor. We owe our goods are against him. The reason oriental-countries haven't kept step with others is because of their poverty. It is quite legitimate to desire comforts of life, a automobile and education, so we will be willing to make sacrifices to educate our children so they can compete with the world in power, and demand more in life. We as a race are too extravagant. Spiritual poverty is worse than physical poverty. The world is becoming spiritual poor house and we must not grasp the world's goods at a sacrifice of spiritual grace. We can't help being physically poor, we can help being spiritually poor. Every Christian is in heaven to enrich his life. If we are rich and don't know Jesus we are indeed poor. St. Paul Bapt. Church For several weeks past, owing to the unsettled state of the affairs of the church, mid-week activities have been discontinued. It was exasperating to be so nearly completed there would be opportunity for services during the week but this was not to be. The 15th of August was the time-given as completion, but when that date came, the contractor and men on the job, and they will finish this week, if all goes well. Other matters are moving like clock work. The pews and equipment for the church arrived on August 15th and they only await the men in the building getting pews and other fixtures. This will be done during the present week. The lights, though, having to be made in the factory, are expected to be installed during the present week. The new pipe organ will, in all probability be here the early next week, that will be installed. When that is done the church will be ready to do business at its new stand. It is expected that the mid-week activities will go on the present week. Today, being a bright beautiful day, the people poured out to the services three times. At the 11 a.m. service the pastor gave way, and permitted the people to express themselves. At that service six persons were received into fellowship. Up n. n. the Missionary Circle held its meeting, and Rev. Frank Wiggins, of Clinton Corners, pastor of the Baptist Church WHERE TO GO TO CHURCH there, prescheduled a sermon on, "The Second Call to Mission Work." It was a splendid message. A large crowd was out, and the pastor preached on "Christ's Last Passover." Several were received at this service and the Lord's Supper observed for the first time in the new church building. The people were happy indeed, in their new surroundings. H. H. Turner is still on the sick list, but we hope that he will be out next Sunday. Next Sunday the usual surprise prayer service will be held from 6 to a.m., at 11 a.m., there will be prescheduled a sermon, and the Lord's School will administer a special sermon to young; Christians, and there will be the usual service at 8 p.m. St. James Pres. Church The regular Sunday services were 'well attended by a large number of members and friends.' The services were conducted by the-Rev. Mr. A. C. Griggs of Hanes Normal and Industrial University, Ga., assisted by Elder Davis of St. James Presbyterian Church. The minister preached an interesting sermon from Paul's better to Timothy. In his letter Paul urges Timothy, a young man in the ministry, to rekindle the spiritual gift within him. In short, Paul's encouragement to Timothy is what most Christian of today is in need of. Lack of encouragement causes many a young man to go astray. Just before the morning sermon, Clarice E. Gaither, the infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Gaither, was baptized. A sermon of the sermon, Mrs. B Cooke was received into the fellowship of the church. METHODIST EPISCOPAL NUSHI MEMORIAL A. M. E. ZION CHURCH, 38-60, W. 188th St. Rev. G, OLIVENK, D.

Rush Memorial Church One of the most helpful one, of the most practical and inspiring sermons of the day was delivered at Rush Memorial Church at the eleven o'clock service by the Livingstone College, Salisbury, N.C. The subject: "Life As Courage," was based on text, John 11:16. A lesson worth while and easily grasped by the entire congregation as he emphasized the need of courage in confronting life's problems, and in attaining the goal for which we aim. Courage, said the speaker, is one of the many, things for which life calls very often, and when we would face, successfully, the various phases of conditions and circumstances which we meet while enroute along life's highway. We must have courage to face death, defeat and the use of weapons, we might not allow crowning of our efforts to take the morrow; courage to go with Christ. Courage in the face of oppression, to hold on to hope, to help us, to H. He, and will help us rain the victory. Memorial services for the late Arthur G. Brooks was held at three c'clock, with G. W.

Paradise Baptist Church At the close of our Sunday school we were favored with a soo entitled, "Pray", by a visiting sister. Rev Stokes, acting pastor for the Rev Stokes, acting subject for the morning service "Reserve unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's". He explained how Jesus was tempted and tried by those who opposed his teachings. If we would give God our hearts and serve Him in spirit and truth, we would be rendering Him what is due. At the beginning hour there was a full house to hear Rev Stokes deliver a most tiltifying sermon from the 40th Psalm, verse, "Lord thou art our refuge and strength, a very present help in troubles." Although men were created with great strength and power they become impotent when the storms of life are raging and the darts of fire are flying, and such things occur we should run to our creator who is our refuge and strength, and who is able to deliver us from all trouble. At the close of the service, communion was served. Paradee Murray's trip from New York City to Southhold, L. L. was most successful. At beautiful Southhold the picnicians enjoyed themselves muntenely. Concord Baptist Church Swinging into the teaching style of message, Dr. Benjamin Brawley, head of the English Department, Shaw University, held the attention of his audience Sunday morning as he spoke from Philippines 3:7. "But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss to me, the sea, doubtless, and I count all things loss for the excellence of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord." Leading up to the text, Dr. Brawley warned against placing false-values on things, then went RELIGIOUS STUDY COMPULSORY AT FISK UNIVERSITY Many Graduates Enter Into Social and Religious Activities Nashville, Tenn.—Each year Fisk University is graduating a number of students who enter social and religious work and other religious professions. Many alumni are doing eminent service as Y, M. C. A, and Y. W. C. A, secretaries; as social workers in community centers and as church secretaries and religious education directors; as teachers of Bible in our colleges, and as ministers. The Department of Religion at Disk is seeking to organize its curriculum and its practical community such as a way to give the largest technical training and the widest experience to the students so as to prepare them for their life work. Besides, this department is seeking to give each student who graduates from the university, regardless of the nature of their education, a deep religious ology of life and a deep religious nature to help carry him through his varied and difficult experiences in life. Required Religious Study. Fisk requires each student before he graduates, to take ten hours of religion, five hours in a survey course covering the Bible, and five hours for study of practical Christian ethics. Besides these courses, the university offers electives in theology, advanced Bible courses, philosophy of religion, comparative religions, and the psychology of religion. A major course of forty-five hours in religion is arranged for those who desire to specialize in this field. Plans are worked out to organize a school of religion as one of the large departments of the university. The devotional life of the students is ministered to by the church service on Sunday morning, the forum program on Sunday evening, the devotional meetings of the Y&, and the chapel programs conducted during the week. Some of the strongest religious leaders of the country are secured to participate in the student group as the student group the most modern thinking and the deepest devotional life possible. A Week of Meetings. A series of special services is conducted once a year for a period of a week by some eminent clergyman, who has gained prominence both as a great preacher and church leader. Students of the university, at the invitation of various religious and social directors of the city, participate in the organizations ministerhood and youth and you will be Nashville. This practical service has a two-fold object: Fisk is eager to make its contribution to the community of which it is a part, and is eager to share the religious talent within the student group with the religious order of Nashville. The university is eager for its student body to get the widest experience possible in practical Christian service as a preparation for larger service after graduation. Hundreds of children in the city through the university are eager for their groups, come in contact with Fisk students and receive from them efficient and devoted service. More than half a hundred students weekly go out into the city to contribute their part to the development of the religious life of neighbors and receive experience in Christian living. Fisk has always been a religious institution. It has been the great surging and throbbing idealism and devotion of its leadership and its student group that has made possible the development of the splendid potentialities it has for life. The student body, in administration and faculty, as well as student body are eager to maintain this rich tradition to show the worth of the things which Paul had given up for Christ: ancestry and high birth; prominent position or station in the church and public life; higher education. Illustrating this, the life stories of Wendell Phillips and Robert Good Shaw who gave up their Christian station that might serve Christ through the Negro. Dr. Brawley, speaking quietly and pointedly, said that there were some things against which he wished to warn us and on which we were placing 'too much emphasis': Money which belongs first to God; power, the desire for which goods men to themselves act upon priority and ocular success for which things have sold honesty, modesty and soul; Stoobhinesses for the sake of being above my neighbor; Secret societies, which usurp study time and cause Christians to subscribe to things they know to be contrary to the principles of Jesus and finally, relations and affections to the worldly sexes and Christ cannot countenance and which eat the heart and soul until there is no peace, until there is separation from the presence of Jesus that only the giving up of this one pet thing will restore. In conclusion, the speaker quoted his text and, 'A man's life consistently not in the abundance of possessions warned that you cannot rifle with Jesus Christ and your soul's destiny. At the evening service Dr. Brawley gave a unique, spiritual interpretation of the recurring visions of the head of a man, a lion, an ox and an eagle. At nine o'clock Monday, thirty three hours he gave for a ten days vacation at B. Y. Y. in shine Acres, Comack; to their expenses paid by the Concord B. Y. P. U.

C—Coach L. P. Byarm has recently returned from Louisburg, Pa. where he attended the Warner-Zuppke Coaching School at Bucknell University. He is laying plans to again capture the C. I. A. football championship for A. and T. College. To do this he has increased his coaching staff by the addition of Major Spalding, a former star starlet at A. and T., who recently received his master of arts degree at Cornell University. Coach Byarm expects to begin practice the first week in September, as he has unusually heavy schedule this season. One of the hardest games is the first game, when Tuskegee champions of the South, A. and T. in Greensboro on November 6. The other games are with member teams of the C. I. A.

Hampton Announcees 1928 Football Schedule By Jimmie Clarke Hampton Institute, Va. - The Hampton Blue and White eleven is taking on the usual schedule with C. T. A. A teams and also one outsider, West Virginia Collegiate Institute. To say that the schedule is hard goes without argument. The soft spots in the schedule will be so hard that only a team with championship caliber will be able to weather the storm. From the first game, which is with Virginia Seminary coaches point for Hampton, and if successful in coming through with a victory they can say that their efforts have been well spent. Coach Gideon L. Smith, along with Director Charles H. Williams and Captain George E. Byrd, of Wilmington, N. C., is looking forward to an interesting year. Hard work has got to be done in order to pass A. T. and T. who has no idea of releasing the C. I. A. A. Championship, Virginia Seminary, who came within an age of whipping the famous Bluefield mountain combination in Roanoke, Virginia State College, under Coach Martin, has taken on altogether new life and appears to be a serious contender for the crown. Lincoln, who is striving to win the district, West Virginia Collegiate Institute, who does almost as the pleases with her rivals west of the Allegheny, and Union University, who throws a scarce into the Seaside camp every Thanksgiving Day. Captain Byrd, quarterback on the team for the past two or three years, will guide the Blue and White eleven for 1928. The game with A and T. College or Greenboro is to be played in Norfolk, Va., at the League Park on Monday, November 12, instead of November 10 in Greenboro as stated last year when the tentative C. I. A. A. schedule was made out. The West Virginia Collegiate Institute game will go to, Charleston W. Virginia, on November 17. This game will mark the first time that the Seaside eleven has gone west. The Charleston folks are looking forward to this big intersection game with much interest. The first game on the schedule with Virginia Seminary will be played at Hampstead with a part of the crowd of spectators sitting in the new section of the all-concrete stadium. A section will be completed by then and it will help about 1,500 people. The stadium is being built by William E. Lee, who is well known in the football circles as "Wildman" one of the best tackles that ever wore togs. Besides being a good tackle he was captain of a championship team in 1926, all-C. I. A. A. tackle for four year, and All-American tackle for two years Wildman Lee drew the plans for the stadium and is now supervising the construction of the structure. The Schedule: October & Virginia Seminary at THINGS THAT NEVER HAPPEN YES, DEAR I WAS DETAINED AT BUSINESS UNTIL THIS VERY MINUTE JOHN DEAR I BELIEVE IT GOLF NEWS The monthly handicap tournament on the St Nicholas Club was held Wednesday, August 15, on the Lake Mohanic course Robert P. Ball, the low handicap player for the club, scored 77. Par for the course is 70. Thomas Person scored 90, and with his handicap of 22, tied with Ball, who had a 9 stroke handicap. On the playoff, Ball won out Elmer Brent, scoring 90, with a handicap of 26, won third place. The St Nicholas Golf Club will hold its club championship September 6 on the Petham Bay course George Aaron is the defending champion. Golfers "from all over the United States will gather at St. Louis, September 1, 2 and 3 for the third annual open golf championship under auspices of the United States Colored Golf Association. The tournament will be played on the course of the Maplehead Country Club and should produce some class golf Robert P. Ball, open champion for 1927, will be on hand to defend his honors. Such other stars as Harry Jackson, John Shippen of Washington, D. C. Wally, Braxton and Gaskins of Philadelphia, George Aaron, James McCoy and Tommy Person of New York. Tuskegee Eleven Loses Veteran Backfield Stars It has just been disclosed that Tuskegee will be without the services of Wooster, Steward, Paul Smith, the brainy field general, and William W. Harris during the ensuing season. It will take a Miracle Man to replace these losses with men possessing the tactics and the strategy of the famous four who will not be able to join the Tiger squad in the fall. Tuskegee has a very heavy schedule. The opening game will be played in the Bowl on September 28 and the Grand-Finale will be the initial stellar attraction with Atlanta University at Spiller's Field, Atlanta, Ga, which will take place this year on December 7. The Tigers will play two games with Knoxville College simply to round out the schedule. The question has been asked many times as to why the cadets are tackling the Tennessee team twice during the present season and it was set at rest much speculation that the Tuskegee Institute Athletic Department issued the above statement that the two games had been arranged merely to round out the schedule. Conference rules forbid membership teams from engaging in football practice before September 10. 10. Cleve L. Abbott, Tuskegee's crafty coach, will have only sixteen days to whip his eleven in shape for the opening game with Kroxville College, which will be followed a week later with a game with the intercollegiate champions of the Agricultural and Technical College, Greenbore, North Carolina. The A and T. game will be one of the hardest on the Tuskegee schedule and the fans are watchfully waiting to see how the Tuskegee coach is going to handle the assignment, that of playing a championship team with green material. Already a large number of persons are planning to trek towards the World War Memorial Stadium erected by the citizens of Greenbore in memory of those who made the supreme sacrifice in the Great War, to see these two teams in action—cham Hampton, 13, St Paul at Lawrenceville, 20, Virginia State College at Petersburg; 27, Lincoln University at Hampton, November 3, North Carolina State College at Hampton; 12, A, and T College at Norfolk; 17, West Virginia College Institute at Charleston; 24, Shaw University at Hampton; 29, Union University at Hampton.

In the opening talk of this series, Alexander A.

While that idea is comparatively new, the parents of this city are gradually coming to a recognition of it, and becoming actively interested in carrying on their part of the job." "It is only with graphic information about methods and service that parents may be enabled to perform their part of the bargain with their child intelligently and efficiently.

WHITE CORNELLA LAMPTON DAWSON, PIANIST DIED SUDDENLY IN CHICAGO HOSPITAL Mrs. Cornella, Lampton Dawson, 4000 South Parkway, Chicago, Ill, nationally famous concert pianist, and wife of William L. Dawson, himself a noted composer, died at Provident Hospital, Chicago, on Thursday morning, August 9, at 10:45 o'clock. Mrs. Dawson's death came as a great shock to her friends who had not known of the seriousness of her illness. About three months ago Mrs. Dawson had undergone an operation for appendicitis at Provident Hospital, but apparently recovered and had resumed her musical activities. One of her last public appearances had been at the recital given by John Greene, baritone, at the Cosmopolitan Community Church on July 31. On Sunday morning, August 5, Mrs. Dawson complained of feeling ill while at church, but it better toward the evening and entertained a group of friends with a superb rendition of the Beethoven "Moonlight Sonata." After this, however, her condition rapidly became worse and her phasianus, Dr.Bluitt, ordered her taken to Provident Hospital, where an operation for adhesions was performed on Monday, which was apparently successful. She suffered a relapse on Thursday, however, and died in spite of all medical attention. The body lay in state for only a few hours, at Kersey, McGowan and Morsel's Funeral Partials, being shipped on Friday afternoon to Greenville, Miss., Mrs. Dawson's former home. Mrs. Dawson was the daughter of the late Bishop Edward Lampton and had won a national reputation as an authority on the piano. She was born in Greenville, Miss., 32 years ago, and received her education at the Greenville High School, and the Glenn Dillard Gunn School of Music in Chicago. She was a graduate of both Howard University and of Oberlin and was for three successive years, 1925, 1926 and 1927, winner of the Jullibird Foundation Scholarship, New York City, for principency in music. It is said that Mrs. Dawson was the first girl student of Howard to receive the degree of bachelor of music. She located in Chicago some ten years ago and continued her study of music with Glenn Willard Dunn. She appeared in recital in the larger cities of practically every state in the country. She was music editor of the Chicago Whip at the time of her death. She was a valued member of the Scrubblers, the Chicago Music Association and the National Association of Negro Musicians, Inc. She married William L. Dawson, director of music at Lincoln High School, Kansas City, Mo., on May 25, 1927, and they made their home in Chicago. Last rites were said in Greenville, Miss., on Sunday, August 12, from St. Matthews A' M. E. Church. The deceased is survived by a devoted husband, and two sisters, Mrs. Gertrude Lampton Walker and Miss Ethel Lampton. A SIGNIFICANT RACIAL CHANGE IN N. Y. A SIGNIFICANT RACIAL CHANGE IN N. Y. Arthur Ruhk, a reviewer of dramatic events on the New York Herald Tribune, wrote in a recent issue of that paper in his column, "Off Stage and On," of his experiences on a trip to Rockaway Beach, and, later, on a bus ride up Fifth Avenue from 104th street in which he voiced his reactions to the discovery that colored New Yorkers were to be found in larger numbers both on the beach and on the buses. Incidentally, Mr. Ruhk referred to the change in complexion of the folks with whom he came in contact, as compared to those of twenty, or even ten years ago. His comment, as follows: "Hurrying into the Long Island waiting room of the Pennsylvania Station to catch a 9:13 train for Rockaway on a recent blistering Sunday morning, we had to wait in line while three Negroes bought tickets for themselves, and their picnic parties. The waiting room itself was liberally sprinkled with people of their color. When we finally got into the train, already packed, and tramped through possibly half a dozen cars before finding a seat, it seemed that at least half of the passengers were more or less African "And about all these people there was nothing quaint, comic or eccentric; nothing of the stencils through which the Afro-American is usually presented in the theater; nothing but their color, apparently, good stigush them from any other cheerful crowd of Manhattan cooks, escaping from their routine asphalt and concrete for a day for a dip in the sea. They had their kodaks and thermos bottles, their straw hats and those bright triangular handkerchiefs which girls wear over one shoulder nowadays, their Sunday papers and magazines. In short, the town, the tram, the beach, were theirs, as much as anybody else's, and none seemed minded to say them nay. Jogging down the beach later, along that cool and wavering footpath where sand and the last of the surf meets your correspondent kept pacing through little belts of darker color, which would have been startling in 1908, exotic even as late as 1918, but were carelessly so any more. It occurred to him that looking down from an airplane, flying very slow, that beach might have resembled a gigantic cross-section of what housewives call 'marble cake'. Even he could recall when the greater part of that beautiful stretch of beach was left to sand and surf, beachgrass and saltpipes, and seemed as far away from Manhattan as Cape Cod. Later it became people with East Side and largely Irish faces. And now the starbared-shaped Semitic type which gradually displaced the Coast, in their trun, being elbowed by the taller, rangier sons of Haru. The same evening boarding a south-bound Fifth Avenue stage at 11 East 12th Street, your correspondent found ten of the passengers on the ride—he didn't count those on the roof—to be people of color. Detention front of him sat a comely young black woman with a little brown capacious lap. She wore a tight little white hat, a foggy, pale blue rink that looked well against her dark skin; large, very thin gold girdes in her ears and a necklace of little white beads, just such as one see round the necks of Negro women in the tropics. Her neck, with its opaque chocolate汁, and its look of health and strength, with lines or shadows—like that of a seal just emerging from the water—also took one back to the tropics. You will see girls just like that hurrying down the mountain trails, with their baskets of fruit and vegetables on their heads from the hill villages to Port au Prince. Short, another more or less significant racial change seems to be taking place in our island Babel. And whatever its import, nobody seems excited or indeed to bother about it in the least."

PHILIP RANDOLPH Editor of The New York Age: As a species of utter and speakable desperation, the Pulli- m Company has sent out its inspired propaganda against the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Por- tions, through an organization with the industrial Defence-Association of 7 Water street, Boston, Mass. INTRODUCING THE BALLARDS Reader, permit the column to introduce the Ballards of 310 West 133rd street, New York City. The Pullman Company seeks to conceal its 'fight on the porters' right to organize for a living wage, decest hours of work and improved working conditions, behind an attack upon A. Philip Randolph, organiser of the Friars' Union. The company feels that if it can discredit the union leader, the Brotherhood will go to pieces, following the rule that when the rank and file will be routed, "Well," you say, "what about the Ballards?" Oh, nothing sensational, just a family such as you mea here and there, that appears out of the ordinary in their household and ancestral ties. Several weeks since, the column told of the devotion of two brothers and how one had been contented to remain a humble employee that the other might attain the goal of his ambition. In the story of the Ballards, we wish to tell of the care and devotion of a brother for his youngest sister. Proof that it is Pullman propaganda is seen, by the time of the attack. It is interesting to note that although the statement of the Mossenger is unequivocal, Mossenger is predicated upon allied opinions of mine appear in the Mossenger, the most objectionable and dangerous opinions from the point of view of the Association appeared some eight or ten years before the Association has only sought to associate with it when the movement to organize the porters began, some ten years after the opinions appeared. Sixteen years ago, there was born to Frank and Melissa Ballard of Upper, Fairmount, Maryland, a girl child whom they named Amy. This child, oddly enough, the thirteenth of their union. And being the thirteenth born and a girl didn't preace very much for little Miss Amy. But fortunately for the baby who started life under a handrape, according to superstition, which isn't absolutely racial, there was a big brother. This brother was one of those—well, ordinarily, we might call them "nuts"—members of a family who take their genealogy seriously. In fact, it might be called a twist of nature, and yet, this may be the wrong definition of it. After all, with the normal human being, there is no tie more binding than that of consanguinity. But in this high-powered civilization of ours, blood relationship and all-such ties are forgotten. The motto is, "Every son of Adami for himself." Any reasonable person will naturally inquire. Why is it the Industrial. Defense Association has been so belated in protecting the citizens from these alleged terrifying and subversive opinions, when the files of the Messenger have appeared. How that no-so-called objectionable people have appeared in the last two and a half years that have not appeared in print or been spoken by me eight or ten years ago? No, when we run across a brother like Robert F. Ballard, he stands out. He doesn't need to be one of those persons to whom the rank and title of our people give praise. Those of this class are the professionals. The professional class is usually the Alps of the Negro vocational mountain, and while there is no disposition here, to dispage this class, or to become an iconoclast, yet in the credits and debits of the family ledger, it will more or less be found that the credit column of a family is always on the side of its non-professional members. Now, if these opinions of mine deplored by the Industrial Defense Association, 'are harmful to-day, they were, the same token, beneficial to us, the real reason why the Association did not give them publicity and send codified copies of same to leading citizens and papers, is that the Pullman Company had no reason to seek to discredit it, it was not actively organizing the Pullman porters and maids. However, this is not what the column is trying to emphasize. What it is essaying to do is to tell of the part Robert F. Ballard, a Pullman porter, is playing in the progress of the Negro race. As said, sixteen years ago a girl child was born to the father and mother of Robert, Ballard. Robert was the oldest son, and, as frequently happens in the families of people who have some claims to background, the eldest child, whether masculine or feminine, is expected to perpetuate the ambitions of the head of the family. So much then for the motive word about the merit of the originations. Fortunately for Miss Amy, her eldest brother appreciated this responsibility. As a matter of fact, he not only estimated this but he developed a keen fondness for his little sister. Of the family, there had been eleven boys and two girls. For Amy, the youngest, he developed protective feeling. He wanted her to be something above the ordinary country girl. In the country the outlook is limited, girls marry young and boys grow old fast. So, Robert different from the usual brother, would not allow his little sister to grow up, perhaps marry, without opportunity for a wider view of life, and so far as real progress is concerned, as we estimate it in this century, without having accomplished anything. The first charge is that I believe in social equality for the Negro. This is true. All intelligent Negroes, like intelligent whites, beaten in social injustice. An independent element will proclaim it. Social equality means social justice. When there is social inequality, there is social injustice. It does not mean that Negroes will seek to force white people be that they are not Negroes themselves or their society upon Negroes. But Robert Ballard is the type of man that makes stories. No ordinary man ever made the foundation for a story. It does mean that Negroes shall have the opportunity to enjoy every right and privilege, economic, social, educational or political, enjoyed by any other group, regardless of race or color. Robert was determined that, his little sister would be given a chance to make good; would be given an opportunity to cultivate latent qualities to which every child is in heir. So for ten years this brother has provided and cared for his baby sister. When Amy was six years of age, Robert, who was then working and living in Philadelphia, brought his sister to that city. The child was of school age, and being unusually bright for one of her years, progressed nicely in the public school which she attended. Second, I am charged with a belief in miscegenation of whites and blacks. I belong in the right of a Negro or, a white person to marry who miscegen he chooses. I am opposed to any legislation prohibiting the intermarriage of Negroes and white people, since it only protects the men men who have exploited the Negroes men because illigitimate children are not permitted to inherit the property of their fathers. It is interesting, in this connection, to propose laws against intermarriage, the most technically three-fourths of the Negroes are mutilators. Thus laws against intermarriage do not prevent miscegenation, but they only antigrate Negroes and rob Negro men of social and legal protection. The brother moved from Philadelphia to Jersey City. After he had ensconced himself in the New Jersey city, he made provisions for Amy. For seven years, the older brother was practically the parental mentor of his younger sister. Three years ago, Robert, who had moved to New York, and had become an employee in the Pullman service, contemplated marriage. Taking generally, a single man who has any forethought about the fortunes of his family usually exercises this forethought when it comes to entering the matrimonial state. In this case, there is no definite record that the brother paid any heed as to how his little sister would take with a stepmother. But there must have been some mutual ground of consideration. Anyway, there is one thing that makes this story possible—Robert Ballard selected an out-of-the-ordinary woman-for a wife, and Miss Amy Ballard got a sister who proved to be an unusual sister-in-law. So, for the last three years, Amy's welfare and home supervision have been in the hands of Mrs. Robert Ballard. Third, I am charged with belief in the abolition of conventional marriage and the substitution of free love The editor of this column, called at the Ballard's home last Sunday to get personal observation of their life. This was done because the story of the elder brother's fealty and sterling qualities were brought to the attention of this column by Louis White of Cambridge, Mass. This is an obvious patent and malicious misrepresentation. There is nothing in my spoken or written statements which expressly or impliedly can be construed to man that I entertain any such opinion. I have never advocated the abolition of conventional marriage. Perhaps the best of free marriage. Perhaps the best of my belief in conventional marriage is the fact that I am myself so married. The column is prepared to say that these qualities have not been rated. Located at the corner of 153rd street and Bradhurst avenue, there an apartment house of the new law type. On the fourth floor, perhaps it is the third, of that house live the Ballards. Mr. Ballard was out of town, which meant that he was on the "road" when the writer called. Fourth, I am charged with the belief in freedom from all religious inhibitions and restraints and adoption of atheism as a means of freedom. However, Mrs. Ballard, from observation, and when you have followed the reporters' game for any time you are able to judge, was qualified to give the salient facts about the family. Mrs. Ballard gave the writer some facts of the family history. It seems that Mr. Ballard Jr. is fervidly interested in the progress of his little sister. And this concern is appreciated by the sister with the result that she has ambition to become a public school teacher. In driving for this goal, she is now a pupil at the Theodore Roosevelt High School, Fortham Road and Washington avenue. The Bronx. This, too, is a definite imprese- sation. I have never advocated any such opinions. I am attent- ed to the fact that I am a mem- ber of any particular church. I was raised in the African Methodi- cal Episcopal Church, my father being one of its eldest ministers. I am not an atheist. I am fully appreciative of the social and spir- alue of the Church of all faiths. Now, the point the column wishes to stress is the devotion of a brother for his young sister. The column also wants to point out the noble qualities of this brother's wife. Mr. Ballard may have been ever so loyal as a kinsman, but without the encouragement and help of his wife he never could have given expression to this feeling after marriage. It is a matter of common knowledge that some of our most useful citizens are not churchmen Thomas Jefferson, Thomas A. Edison, Clarence Darrow, Henry Ford and others. But I have heard of no attack upon these characters by the Industrial Defense Association. And so in presenting the story of the Ballard family it is necessary to include Mrs. Robert F. Ballard. In the New York Ballard family, we find an exceptional man and woman. Any family, which so regards its blood ties in this day and time, is an exceptional one. It is such cases as these that demonstrate the possibilities of the Negro race under speculative environments, that it may not be their possibilities under more substantial conditions? Fifth, I am charged with the encouragement of *olase* and racial-hatred in the meantime by bringing the Russo-British conception of the "New Social Order" of. In the mind, the Pullman Company could benefit itself twofold if we give a little more attention to men of the Ballard type. Of course there are certain delinctions by which a man is judged by a corporation. But no corporation can afford to discount the family really important he be white, brown or black. This is a deliberate misrepresentation. I don't advocate a policy of encouraging class and racial difference and seek to eliminate said Intrudes through the method of organization and education. I do not now, and never did, advocate the Russian conception of the "New World," and the contrary. The Messenger files will show that I led the fight on Communism among Negroes. And to-day the Communists, through the Daily Worker and the American pro-Gro Communist organization, are denouncing and condemning me, together with President William In the Pullman Service there are three Ballards. Two are porteries, and one is an assignment clerk at Mott Haven Yards. Now, a service such as service and forbidding, as some people would imply, would not be likely to attract three brothers of the same family. In this if this were the case, what impressed us about this family is the division of a brother for his little sister. Just imagine an unmarried brother carrying his tot sister from home to home as he went over her as a swallow coos over its breed, protecting, writing that her welfare might be served. As you depict this brother's careful care, you think of the swallow. In introducing Robert F. Ballard, his wife and kid sister, we tell that the introduction is worky of our space, time and comment. Green, for the postponement of the Pulitzer-porter's strike at set price, Congress's major call. The Negro Champion, which has recently begun publication again, and its first issue carried a bitter attack on me and Mr. Green, carrying a cartoon and a statement about the American, Negro Labor Congress whose purpose and intent are to discredit my leadership of the Fortier' Union. Sixth, if I am charged with advocating riot and bloodshed by the Negro Congress, registering protest against, white intolerance and violence. This charge, doubtless aisles riot, in Chicago and Washington, from the fact that during the race following the World War, The passenger in the car was attacked by the white mobs by shooting to kill. I still believe this to be a sound race police and absolutely justified. If a nation is justified in defending itself, by lightning, back when the police are not group justified in defending itself by lightning back. Negroes are not inherently and fundamentally different from other peoples. All races and peoples will fight back when attacked, even though it entails bloodshed. However, it is not always the case in all wars, national, racial and class. I don't advocate a racial policy of violence as a method of effecting a solution of the Negro problem. Tolerance, education, cooperation are the constructive solvent keys to all problems, racial, labor and national. Seventh, I am charged with the advocacy of a program for arousing the sleeping giant of "color" and the onward march of all the black, brown and yellow races to domination in world affairs. I do believe in a program which will brown peoples of the world to a realization of their rights and power in order that they might put an end to their exploitation by white foreign powers and may proceed along the path of orderly education, organization and cooperation, which will make national and international advancement. It is not my philosophy, however, that they should be awakened in order to establish domination over world affaire. They must be awakened in order that they may be able to protect their cultural and religious interests, and also to be able to constructively participate in the spiritual cooperation for world peace. "Neither white, black, yellow or brown people' should be permitted to dominate another race. The hope of the world lies in mutual, intelligent, constructive and creative cooperation, in the condition of true brotherhood and leads to peace among nations, races and classes. Eighth. I am charged with the advocacy of the overthrow of our present form of government by force of arms, if necessary, and substituting therefor a government patterned in the Bolshevik mould. This is a violent and subtle prostitution of my written and spoken Statements, do not not and may not be the pattern of Government for America. I believe that each country will and should be permitted to determine its own form of government. This is in harmony with sound principles of social-political economy which recognizes that government is the outgrowth of differing historical, political, social and economic backgrounds. I am a socialist. 'But I have not heard that it is a crime to be a Socialist. Practically all of the leaders of the Socialist movement and a large number of the painters of the East are Socialists. The present Chancellor of Germany, Dr. Mueller, is a Socialist and Albert Thomas, secretariat of the International Labor Bureau of the International Labour Organization, is Ramsay MacDonald, former Premier of England. It may be also interesting to note that the 'American Federation of Labor, some of the standard labor unions, is jointly to support the late Socialist Robert M. LeFollette. Moreover, the Socialist Party has been one of the most militant and effective opponents of Communism in America and Europe, though a Socialist in the United States, others to introduce politics into the organization. The Brotherhood pursues a non-partisan politicalpolicy. Ninth, I am charged with the publication of indecent literature in Messenger. This is vague and highly controversial allegation. What is considered indecent literature to one mind, may be regarded as fully puritan to another. When one surveys the literature of the world, he must recognize, recognized and accepted by world scholars, some of the finest creations of the men and women of ability, talent and genius, would be thrown upon the scrap heap, if we are to accept the mediaeval standards of literary appraisal demonstrated by the Industrial Defense Association. Surious, perhaps, to the uninitiated in the rich multiforms of literary expression, the Bible would fall under the ban this self-styled paragon, of moral and literary purity, for the Association would put forth a compendious the books of Euthyphrius in the monu Deuteronomy. Lies Not. Such outstanding works of literary erudition as the offerings of Rabelais, Swinburne, Sir Richard Burton, author of "Arabian Knights," Snufftier, novels of Snufftier, Snufftier, Goethe, Anatole France, Enjolie Zola, Walt Whitman, James Whitcome Riley, Boccaccio "Decamerdith," Scenes from "Hamlet," Rape of the Curse, "Venus and Odin," Shakespeare, Anteroil, Tales from the works of the dramatists of the Restoration. Period of English literature, such as Marlowe, Plether and Ford, would be summarily discredited and discarded. The modern writers, the Industrial Defence Association would relegate to the limbo of oblivion the fine, sensitive, social literary gems of Marcel Proust, Sinclair Lewis, Aldhous Huxley, Morand, René Maran, Jean Toomis- Cain, Lawwig, Lewissohn, Lee, Masters, Eugene O'Neil, D'Annaunio, and Carl Sandburg on the untenable and observable grounds of Indecency. (All of this literature, like the Messenger's pressions of the movement of realism in art and literature. These works and authors are. underwritten by the world's most notable literary and art critics, and repose in the great libraries of the world, as well as grace the reference lists of the the universities and colleges of America and Europe. Therefore, I accept the stupid attacks of the Industrial Defense Association as a tribute to the literary excellence and modernity of the Messenger, which is a goal designate to be wished by the publicization of the art and literary trends of imaginative efforts. Tenth. I am charged with having attempted to evade the military draft during the World War I, did not attempt to misrepresent the war, and in order to escape conscription, I was fundamentally and morally opposed to the war and so stated it during the war. I am a pacifist so far as national wars are concerned, but I am not a public speaker in public speeches the hypocrisy of the slogan "Making the World Safe for Democracy," while Negroes were lynched, jim-crowed, disframed and segregated in public, and the sacrifice of their blood and treasure in the World War. By all the sales and laws of the Selective Service Act, I was entitled to remain out of the war, and I so convinced the draft officer, as I would have been inscripted. To sum up, the release against mine, issued by the so-called Industrial Defense Association, is inspired propaganda which is paid for by Pullman gold to discredit ship captains and shipmen, organize Pullman morters and maids, for the recognition of their bona-fide right to self organization, a living wage, regardless of tips, and the 240-hour work-month, instead of the nearly, 400-hour work-month, consequent of the 100 mile basis of hourage work, commutation. The Association has adroitly avoided mentioning the Brotherhood of Sleeping. Car, Porter's its attack in order to give the attack upon me the semblance of a military officer's fight. If the Industrial Defense Association had mentioned the porters' fight to organize, the public would have forthwith recognized the motive behind the attack, and therefore, repudiated the Association in its attack which would explain its highly colored and biased presentation.
